If I were in your boots, I'd pick the boa with the best temperament, then size, then color. More importantly, I'd do that through the lens of what I want right now and what I'd still want/be willing to deal with 20+ years from now. Ask yourself (and Katie, too!): what would the you of twenty years in the future want on top of the rest of your collection? What type of life do you want twenty years in the future, and how would the prospective boa fit in? I've found that the answers to these questions can sometimes surprise you.
I'm sure you'll make a wise decision either way. Go with your gut, don't feel rushed, and pick that sunglow of your dreams!
